Currently, wireless communication informs the human driver. In the future wireless communications will influence the movement of vehicles. Automated driving and driver assistance systems require the exchange of kinematic information in distributed control algorithms with very short latency. Future ITS that network automated vehicles with the goal of zero accidents have the potential to save more than 1 Mio. human lives and avoid 8 Mio. serious injuries worldwide every year. Dependable wireless communications with short-latency, low outage probability over non-stationary vehicular communication channels is a challenging task. It involves a multi disciplinary effort including vehicular channel measurements, characterization and modeling; cooperative communications; and low-latency protocol design. A dependable wireless communication framework will be essential for vehicular ad-hoc networks, device-to-device communication links in future 5G systems, and cyber physical systems in general. The goal of the workshop is to solicit the development of dependable vehicular communication systems. This workshop will bring together academic and industrial researchers to identify and discuss technical challenges and recent results related to dependable vehicular communications. The workshop will be co-located with IEEE ICC 2015, the International Conference on Communications (http://www.ieee-icc.org/), in London, UK. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to the following: - Vehicular channel measurements - Channel characterization and modeling - Channel estimation algorithms - Cooperative communications for vehicular scenarios - Signal processing techniques - Protocols for cooperative communications - Integration of vehicular networks in 5G systems - Dependability aspects of channel access - Fault tolerant protocols and error recovery - System level simulation concepts - Key requirements (latency, reliability) and conformance tests for DVC - Performance bounds and optimization - Field tests of vehicular communications Organizing Committee: Thomas Zemen (FTW) Jerome Härri (EURECOM) Christoph Mecklenbräuker (TU Wien) Claude Oestges (UCL) Stefan Rührup (FTW) Christoph Sommer (Universität Paderborn) Erik Ström (Chalmers University) Fredrik Tufvesson (Lund Univ.)

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: [tciin] Call for Papers - CASPer 2015, the 2nd International Workshop on Crowdsensing in Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 Datum: Mon, 29 Sep 2014 08:54:58 +0200 Von: Casper 2015 <casper2015(a)uns.ac.rs> Organisation: Faculty of technical sciences An: undisclosed-recipients:; ******************************************************************** CASPer 2015 2nd International Workshop on Crowd Assisted Sensing, Pervasive Systems and Communications St. Louis, USA, March 27, 2015 In Conjunction with IEEE PerCom 2015 St. Louis, USA, March 23-27, 2015 ******************************************************************** Dear Colleagues, Please, find below the CfP for the 2nd International Workshop on Crowd Assisted Sensing, Pervasive Systems and Communications (CASPer 2015), held in conjunction with the 13th IEEE International Conference on Pervasive Computing and Communications (PerCom 2015). This call for papers and other information about the workshop can be found at the following website: http://casper2015.uns.ac.rs Call for Papers With phones in their pockets, millions of people have access to sensing, computation, and connectivity, making it possible to harness the power of the crowd to collect and share data about their surroundings and experiences on a massive scale. Crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing is a novel data collection paradigm that leverages this vast mobile sensor network, making it possible to expand the scope of research endeavors and address civic issues without requiring the purchase of specialized sensors or the installation and maintenance of network infrastructure. Data collected using such applications may come from unexpected yet interesting and valuable sources and may allow for collecting data in previously inaccessible locations and contexts. This new data collection paradigm introduces several research challenges. Privacy is a primary concern for users that are contributing sensitive or identifying data. Incentive mechanisms for participation may be needed to encourage people to volunteer their resources to collect data. Methods are needed for processing large- scale, user-generated data sets into meaningful information, and for assessing and understanding the quality of information to help guide decision-making. Approaches that involve the crowd in such data analysis tasks, with humans serving as a source of semantic information, interpretation, and evaluation of crowdsensing/ crowdsourcing data, can also help to build an understanding of the physical, computational, and socio-technical environment. The objective of this workshop is to provide a forum for discussion, debate, and collaboration focused on ideas, trends, techniques, and recent advances in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing. We invite original research contributions that advance the state of the art as well as position papers that pose a new direction or present a controversial point of view. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Algorithms to handle, process, and visualize large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data sets * Data integrity, security, privacy, and provenance for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Determining and assessing Quality of Information for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Crowd-assisted (human-in-the-loop) approaches to analyzing crowdsensing/crowdsourcing data * Context modeling and reasoning in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Incentive mechanisms for participation in crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Supporting crowdsensing/crowdsourcing in heterogeneous networks * Crowdsensing/crowdsourcing for pervasive systems * Novel use of sensors for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Energy-efficient mechanisms for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Programming abstractions and middleware for crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications * Novel large-scale crowdsensing/crowdsourcing applications Submitted papers must be original contributions that are unpublished and are not currently under consideration for publication by other venues. Submissions are limited to a maximum length of 6 pages and must adhere to IEEE format (2 column, 10 pt font). Templates are available via the workshop website. Accepted papers will be published in the IEEE PerCom Workshop Proceedings. Note, that each accepted paper requires a full PERCOM registration (no registration is available for workshops only)! Important Dates Paper submissions: November 26, 2014 Paper notifications: January 9, 2015 Camera ready submissions: January 28, 2015 General Chairs Miguel Labrador, University of South Florida, USA Thomas Silverston, University of Lorraine/Inria-Nancy, France Programme Chairs Karoly Farkas, Budapest University of Technology and Economics, Hungary Luke Dickens, Imperial College London, UK Publicity Chair Imre Lendak, University of Novi Sad, Serbia Technical Program Committee Joel Branch, IBM, USA Licia Capra, University College London, UK Murat Demirbas, University of Buffalo, USA Salil Kanhere, University of New South Wales, UK Daniel Fernandez Lanvin, Universidad de Oviedo, Spain Andres Marin Lopez, Universidad Carlos III.

-------- Weitergeleitete Nachricht -------- Betreff: Deadline extension: HotMobile 2015 Datum: Fri, 26 Sep 2014 11:39:11 -0400 Von: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> Antwort an: Xia Zhou <xia(a)CS.DARTMOUTH.EDU> An: SIGMOBILE-MEMBERS(a)LISTSERV.ACM.ORG The new deadline is *Oct. 13th, 11:59pm EST*. http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ About two more weeks to go to submit your hot ideas! Best, Xia ——————————————————————————————————————————————- The 16th Annual International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications ACM HotMobile 2015 Sponsored by ACM SIGMOBILE 12-13 February, 2015 Santa Fe, New Mexico, USA http://www.hotmobile.org/2015/ ——————————————————————————————————————————————- ACM HotMobile 2015, the Sixteenth International Workshop on Mobile Computing Systems and Applications continues the series of highly selective, interactive workshops focused on mobile applications, systems, and environments, as well as their underlying state-of-the-art technologies. HotMobile’s small workshop format makes it ideal for presenting and discussing new directions or controversial approaches. Important Dates: — Paper submission deadline: October 13, 2014, 11:59pm EST — Notification of acceptance: December 15, 2014 We solicit submissions of papers that (1) focus primarily on applications and systems and (2) propose new directions of research, advocate non-traditional approaches to old (or new) ideas, or generate controversy and discussion. We particularly look for position papers containing highly original ideas in the topic areas listed below. However, papers describing other challenges unique to or exacerbated by mobility are also welcome. • Novel applications, environments, and devices supporting mobility • Operating system and distributed system support for mobile computing • Wearable computing, internet of things, sensing, and context-awareness • HCI issues related to mobile computing • Security and privacy of mobile computing • Management, configuration, and deployment of systems supporting mobility Submissions describing new lower-level technologies are welcome if they focus on how the technology is being used or integrated into a system or application. ACM HotMobile 2015 will be a highly interactive workshop. Submissions will be judged based upon originality, technical merit, topical relevance, and likelihood of leading to insightful discussion at the workshop. Presenting at HotMobile is a good way to get early feedback on research ideas at least one year away from a full-fledged conference submission to ACM MobiSys or other high-quality conferences. A full-length paper on the same topic submitted to a conference in less than a year is unlikely to include sufficient new material and more mature ideas. As is customary, papers must not have been published elsewhere and may not be simultaneously under submission at another venue. Papers accompanied by nondisclosure agreement forms are not acceptable and will be returned to the author(s) unread. As customary with the scientific peer review process, submissions will be handled as confidential material during the review. Submissions should contain 6 or fewer U.S. letter pages (10pt font size) in PDF format, including all references, figures and tables. The submissions should not be anonymous. Papers should use the standard ACM template, available at: http://www.acm.org/ For more submission guidelines, please visit the conference website. The papers accepted to HotMobile 2015 will be publicly available from the workshop's website for a limited time window, as per ACM's Digital Library's Policy. If you have any questions, please email the PC chair at croy(a)illinois.edu. ----------------------------------------------------- To be removed from the SIGMOBILE-Members list, please enter your email address wolf(a)IBR.CS.TU-BS.DE at http://optout.acm.org/listserv_index.cfm?ln=sigmobile-members and we'll remove you.
